Kukla's Korner Hockey

After taking his physical Monday, Detroit goaltender Chris Osgood walked outside Centre ICE and started signing autographs for Red Wings fans who had been waiting patiently most of the morning.
"It's good to have you back," a fan shouted as Osgood worked his way down the line.
Well, Osgood's glad to be back.
On Tuesday, the veteran goalie began his second stint with the Red Wings as training camp officially opened.
"I'm excited, fired up to be skating with the guys again," Osgood said.

It didn’t take Red Wings players long to find out what new coach Mike Babcock is all about.
There was no transition period.
There was no easing into it.
“It’s pretty much what we expected - high intensity, upbeat, a lot of yelling, a lot of screaming. It was good,” said defenseman Chris Chelios. “Personally, I’m on the two-week program, so I don’t judge anything before two weeks, but after today I liked it a lot. I liked the intensity. It’s a good way to open up camp.”
